security_asp thread: Security with a file


Message #1 by "Nadia Hamza" <hamzan@h...> on Mon, 12 Mar 2001 05:34:15
Hi,

I've got a directory with several files in it that are being accessed from 
an ASP page.  The asp page checks for a username and password and brings 
up the files that this user is permitted to see.  The problem is all the 
files are numbered numerically in a predictable way.  I don't want this 
person to have access to any of the other files with predictable 
filenames.  ie: they can have access to 123.pdf but I don't want them to 
be able to type in 124.pdf in the browser and have access to that file. 
All of these files are .pdf files so I can't check for the cookie before 
bringing up the file.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 

Nadia
